Bid-ding for mercy: twisted killer in action.

摘要

By the time Arnold Schwarzenegger utters the now famous words Til be back', as he stares through his shades at the front desk of a soon to be defunct police station, we already know that his character in Terminator' is a relentless killing machine, programmed to eliminate his target. When he comes back in T2, he still has the habit of being an efficient killer, but now his main role is that of a protector. While this example is a bit less sophisticated than an allegory from Roman mythology (two-face Janus seemed a bit overused), it is still a valid example that a killer can have different effects depending on the context of the program he is put in.
